In the Slackware setup that I have tested arla on, linux/modversions.h
does not exist, which makes it an error to include it.
Please note that there are a lot of degrees of liberty involved, and I
would like a solution that works on all systems, but every patch that
has been sent to me has failed to work on some platforms. If you have
a patch that works everywhere, I'd be glad to incorporate it.
